Welcome to Lion’s Share: Scheck Hillel Community School’s Grade 6-12 bulletin covering news about curriculum, college and community. Connect with the names, faces and initiatives that make Scheck Hillel a college preparatory school that develops global citizens with enduring Jewish identity and values. For more school information, please visit eHillel.org.
GLOBAL Leadership in Action Leadership opportunities on and off Scheck Hillel Community School's campus provide a platform for students to apply academic knowledge and communication skills in real-world, realtime scenarios. Most recently, delegates from the school attended the AIPAC Policy Forum in Washington, D.C., where they sharpened advocacy skills and lobbied on behalf of the US-Israel relationship. Another group learned about international diplomacy at the Yeshiva University National Model United Nations (YUNMUN), debating positions on behalf of Germany. Applications are now open for the Jaime and Raquel Gilinski Hillel Ambassador Program, Scheck Hillel’s merit-based scholarship program for students who exemplify leadership and achieve in academics, extracurricular activities or service learning (eHillel.org/ambassador), and for the Diller Teen Fellows Program: a yearlong, immersive experience focused on Jewish identity, Israel and tikkun olam (dillermiami.org/ apply). Kol hakavod to all of our young leaders!
